Soft tissues <strong>and</strong> periosteum are removed from the long bones of 3-day-old rats.<br />
<strong>Bone</strong>s are dipped into 70% ethanol for 15 s to kill most of the <strong>cell</strong>s in the<br />
superficial layer.<br />
Epiphyses are cut off, shaft is cut longitudinally, <strong>and</strong> bone marrow is removed by<br />
scraping <strong>and</strong> extensive washing. <strong>Bone</strong> pieces are washed with PBS (5×3 min<br />
each).<br />
Pieces of bone are incubated in collagenase solution at 37°C for 20 min, four<br />
times (fractions 1–4).<br />
Supernatants are collected at each time <strong>and</strong> centrifuged at 200g for 5 min. Pellets<br />
are suspended in <strong>cell</strong> <strong>culture</strong> medium for <strong>cell</strong> <strong>culture</strong>. <strong>Bone</strong> pieces are rinsed<br />
twice with Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS), <strong>and</strong> twice with PBS.<br />
Residual bone pieces are treated with 5 mM EDTA in PBS containing 0.1% BSA at<br />
37°C for 20 min. Step 5 is repeated (fraction 5).<br />
<strong>Bone</strong> pieces are treated with collagenase solution at 37°C for 20 min. Step 5 is<br />
repeated (fraction 6).<br />
<strong>Bone</strong> pieces are cut into smaller pieces, treated with EDTA at 37°C for 20 min.<br />
Step 5 is repeated (fraction 7).<br />
Residual bone pieces are washed with HBSS <strong>and</strong> PBS <strong>and</strong> treated with<br />
collagenase solution at 37°C for 20 min. Step 5 is repeated (fraction 8).
